Dear Friends--

As many of you know, I've been working toward a long-range goal of establishing 2 permanent annual continuing-education-credit-awarding conferences for health professionals, regarding prevention of degenerative diseases through eating choices. I'm thrilled to announce that the first gathering of this kind will take place in July.

North American Vegetarian Society is sponsoring a one-day Friday conference/seminar, July 9, 2010, as part of Vegetarian Summerfest in Johnstown PA. 5 pre-approved continuing education hours will be awarded to Registered Dietitians (but anyone may attend). The seminar title is:"Degenerative Diseases and their Behavioral Origins: Risk Factors, Protective Factors and Interventions"

The Friday dietetic seminar may be attended by itself, or added to a weekend registration for Summerfest... but for anyone attending the full 5-day Summerfest there is no additional registration charge for the dietetic seminar.

Speaker & topic info are summarized below:

-- Neal Barnard, MD is a clinical researcher, principal investigator or co-investigator on several clinical trials investigating the effects of diet on health, including most recently a study on dietary interventions in diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health and conducted under the auspices of the George Washington University School of Medicine, and is the author of many publications in scientific and medical journals.
